The phenotype of vestigial (short) wings (vg) in Drosophila melanogaster is caused by a recessive mutant gene that independently

assorts with a recessive gene for hairy (h) body. Assume that a cross is made between a fly with normal wings and a hairy body and a fly with vestigial wings and normal body hair. The wild-type F1 flies were crossed among each other to produce 1024 offspring. Which phenotypes would you expect among the 1024 offspring, and how many of each phenotype would you expect?

Answer:

It is expected to obtain 576 individuals with normal wings and body with normal hair, 192 with normal wings and hairy body, 192 with vestigial wings and body with normal hair, and 64 with vestigial wings and hairy body.

Explanation:

Since only the wild-type of the offspring cross each other and since the parents have antagonistic phenotypic characters for each gene, all the progeny produced in the F1 is heterozygous with VgvgHh genotype, where

Vg: Normal wings.

eg: Vestigial wings.

H: Body with normal hair.

h: Hairy body.

Once F1 reproduces with each other, the Mendelian proportions 9/16, 3/16, 3/16, 1/16 expected in the F2 generation are produced.

Since in total there were 1024 individuals in the offspring, this amount is multiplied by the expected proportions, giving rise to the mentioned result.

Excited about the fungus chemical's promise for treating cancer, you write up your experimental results and send the paper to a
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

All of them

Explanation:

The effect may not be real because we don't know if the results are reproducible: Peers can identify flaws in the experimental design because an experiment must have a clear design in order to be reproducible by other researchers or else they would not have scientific validity.

The treatment kills cancer cells, but it might simply be a poison that kills all cells—even normal cells: It is possible that in the design of the experiment carried out only cancer cells were used but it had not been performed in healthy cells, which would imply the possibility that the fungus kills all the cells.

Cell samples were taken from too few patients: This may be another mistake because when only a small sample is analyzed it is not certain if the fungi are the ones that kill the cancer cells or are other conditions of the analyzed patient.

During what stage does the DNA copy itself
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: Tightly wound chromosomes, composed of DNA, must unwind before replication. Cell replication splits a cell into two parts, both of which become new, fully functioning cells. Before this can happen, however, cells require a full complement of DNA for each of the new daughter cells that will form as a result of the split. Because of this, DNA makes a copy of itself in a process known as replication during interphase, a stage that occurs before cells divide.

Cell Phases: Mitosis is the process by which parent cells each divide into two identical daughter cells. However, this majority of the cell's time is spent in interphase, during which it performs normal metabolic functions necessary for the organism, such as manufacturing protein. DNA occurs during the S phase of interphase, sandwiched between the G1 and G2 phases. The cell uses checkpoint signals to ensure at the end of G1 that it is big enough to replicate and at the end of G2 to determine whether or not DNA replication has succeeded. If so, the cell can undergo mitosis, at which point DNA winds up tightly for easy transport during the process.

DNA Replication: Replication begins with DNA unwinding and unzipping, its two strands coming apart. While only one side is the “correct” code, containing the actual genetic information used to build the organism’s proteins, both can be the base for a new strand of complete DNA. The enzyme DNA polymerase matches up each base with the correlating base: adenine with thymine and guanine with cytosine. When each pre-existing base has been matched to a nucleotide, which also contains the sugar and phosphate of the DNA’s backbone, the strand is complete.
